It's nearly October and you know what that means! Yep! Trying to invent some kind of halloween nail art that no one has ever done before. Great.

I think that's pretty much impossible, for me anyways, so instead I did my versions of vampire, zombie/frankenstein and spider nails. They range from easy to advanced in skill level and showcase different nail shapes too as I've been enjoying almond shaped nails recently.

It's a long time since I've done a swatch post here on my blog so when Illamasqua sent me their latest from the new 'Once' collection I couldn't resist sharing with you.
Once is a vintage inspired collection with a 'modern vital spirit' and includes a beautiful jade green polish named Melange.

I would describe it as a dusky jade green filled with foiled flecks of gold and copper that shine like embers in the sunlight.

Melange applies in 2 easy coats, and all the photos are without topcoat. You can find the collection at Illamasqua.com (they have free UK shipping).

Thank you for stopping by,
